Statement: An object of mass m rests at the top of a smooth slope of height h, length L and angle ?. The coefficient of kinetic friction ??. A very small push overcomes static friction, and the object begins to slide down the slope. Using your knowledge of kinematics, determine a symbolic expression for the object’s speed when it reaches the bottom of the hill. This should be in terms of some of all of given/known variables m, h, L, g
Learning Objectives: In this assignment students will use Newton’s laws and solve
systems of symbolic equations to find quantities of motion such as position, velocity,
acceleration and time. Students will represent information in multiple ways. Students
will make predictions and assess their work.
